Kalil and Thompson doubtful for Monday night
CHARLOTTE – Center Ryan Kalil and linebacker Shaq Thompson are doubtful for Monday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Kalil suffered an ankle injury during the Week 7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles and did not practice all week. Thompson suffered a knee injury during the Week 6 victory over the Seattle Seahawks and has not practiced since.
"It’ll be game-time decisions," head coach Ron Rivera said.
Fernando Velasco, a veteran with 37 career starts, will step in for Kalil if needed. Rivera said he feels "very comfortable" with Velasco after a solid week of practice.
